LOCAL DENVER PLATFORM.

For the Fall Campaign OF 1887.
We, the Labor Party Club OF Denver.
hereby adopt the following platform and
declaration Of principles, 10 the support OF
which we ask the adherence OF all honest
and thoughtful men:
We are the party that, at the spring elec-
tions, polled In this city l,s4o votes, WHO
since then have held weekly agitation meet
ings for he purp ,se Of studying the causes
and remedies Of poverty, misery. vice and
crime In this republic and the common
wealth OF Colorado, det. rmined hat when
such were ascertained by the light Of SCI
ence, that we would embody them In our
platform and call upon all men 10 aid In an
uprooting OF the conditions that create these
Affections, through the medium OF the ballot.
We shall nominate ticket Of men pledg-
ed to the support Of this declaration, and we
ask for them the votes Of the people.
II we should waste our time on side issues
or keep silent, or remain slavishly In the
ranks Of the old parties, the very stones at
our feet would cry out. Murder Is commit
ted day by day through the Infamous wage
system. Children are slain, women worked
10 death, men killed inch by inch, and these
crimes are never punished by law. The af-
fairs Il this land are administered by the
capitalist class for their own benefit. They
deny us justice, liberty and the full proceeds
OF our labor. The mechanic sinks 10 slav-
cry, the fJrmar falls N tenancy. This ad-
mlnstralon OF affairs suits US no longer. 1t
leads to disastrous consequences. In 1t Is
OF only physical but mental and moral deg
radiation. While me part Of US are worked
10 death the others out Of employment are
starved to death. There IL filth. injustice,
drunkenness, prostitution and theft. There
should be light, liberty, law, civilization and
Justice.
Tho competitive wage system Is the cause
Of all this. Its remedy, science tells us, lies
In the cooperative association Of the collect
I've people: In the assumption and opera
ton hy them Of the natural resources, the
tools Of production, the mediums Of ex-
change, communication and transportation.
In 81 far rs these things can be carried
out, these means enforced, these ideas put
into practice, we are pledged by this plat
form through our nominees, II elected to
apply the remedy.
Let the workers and thinkers rally to the
support OF the Right.

We favor also tax on all incomes above
two thousand dollars per annum, so gradu-
ated as TO bear most heavily npon the great
incomes Of the monopolistic classes and cor
porations, and thus materially tighten the
burdens now borne by the workers, pro-
ducers and masses Of the people.
With the same end in view, we also favor
the exemption from taxation Of the average

DESTRUCTION OF OUR FORESTS.
From the Indianapolis News.I

From the Indianapolis News.
The agricultural department has
issued report which shows that TO-
600, 900 acres of forest are used yearly
in this country for fuel aud lumber
Fires, it is calculated, destroy about
10000, 900 acres more. The forest area
of the country is less than 45O, 900, 600
acres. AT this rate we will IN less
than a quarter Of century have no
forests. Whatever relief may come il,
the future from change in the fuel
question the demands for timber will
increase as the country increases in
population. The whole thing seems
to point to arboriculture on large
scale and systematically, and in no long
time either.

Mino Enemy.

Upon the street he passed me by
o-day, my bitter enemy.
NV heart WAS full of bitter ness,
Which 'twnuld have pleased me to express
In some way. so that he might know
In what contempt held my foe.
But better feelings O'er me came;
NycheekS burned with the flush of shame
How could have been so unkind?
He might have trouble on his mind.
My heart Was iull Of bitterness
His might be weighted with distress.
To injure him had the will
His wife Or children might he ill.
And they, his cherished ones, must be
AS dear to him as mine to Inc.
Thus musing twiYt regret and shame
To this conclusion there | came:
If we of ore great family
Each form separate part,
There is no room for enmity
In any human heart.

The First Sign

OF failing health, whether in the form Of
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in a
sense of General WEAKNESS and Loss of
Appetite, should suggest the use of Ayers
Sarsaparilla. This preparation is most
effective for giving tone and strength
to the enfeebled system, promoting the
digestion and assimilation of food, restor-
ing the nervous forces to their normal
condition, and for purifying, enriching,

A New York dispatch states that the
control of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company has passed into tho hands of Alfred
Sully of New York. Negotiations with Presi-
dent Robert Garrett had been in progress for
some time. This is the greatest and bids fair
to be the most influential railway deal
that has taken place in this country within
many yeara 1t throws other affairs Of the
sort far into tho shade The possibilities Of
this new control are beyond estimating BY
the requirement of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad-the one railway of the land that has
ever been considered out of tho market
Mr.. Sully and his friends become controllers
of what is probably the most extensive rail-
way system in the world. 1t stretches
from New York to almost the uttermost por-
tons of tho South and far into the West II
includes the Central Railroad of New Jersey,
the Philadelphia aud Reading system, the
Richmond Terminal and Richmond and DAN
vile properties, tho East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia lines, the Central Railroad Of
Georgia, and now, last of all, the Baltimore
and Ohio. And of all these properties there
is to be made one great trunk line, with 49,
100 miles of track.
